In the Ear? Really???

338 lapua. shot this goat a while back at over 600 yards. i posted it somewhere but who could find anything in here.

longest kill is a hog shot at 1049 yards. he's probably lost somewhere in this thread too.

you boys have been busy. good kills showing up. i've been a little busy but will try tonight.

I've got the same setup, minus the can. I am going to try it out on pigs after deer season ends.

Hmm me to. I tried it on pigs 15 yards 300 gr Berger. Went clean through the first one and dropped the two behind it drt. Funny thing was the first pig ran further than any that weekend. Made it 30 yards. When gutting it there was nothing left sucked all the organs out the exit hole. Can't wait to try my 338 Allen mag on some piggies

I got this one about 3 AM this morning. I've visited four sites a total of three times each. Didn't see anything until my last stop on my last site. I used my thermal monocular to find this guy about 140 yards away from me in a cut soybean field. I shot him in the shoulder with a 150 grain Remington Core Lock. He ran about 25 yards before tumbling over. The soybean field was too wet for me to drive out there and load them in the truck, so my friend will get him in a couple of days, if the rain holds off.

I got this one about 3 AM this morning...

sounds like you've got it as bad as me!

cutting the milo made all the difference. at the top of the hill I saw a good sized herd and another was running in to join them. the farthest were spooking the close ones and there was no time to wait. actually, there was no time to even make a plan. fortunately I've got some experience with just blasting away. the thermal allowed me to massacre them until they were… well… gone! I think I would only have killed 3 or 4 with night vision.

the stalks were still knee high and I drove past every one of the dead hogs looking for them with nv. I had a pretty good idea where they were, so I just went back and recovered them with a flashlight. one made it out of the field and left a blood trail across the turnrow and into the brush line guarded by tumble weeds.

oh boy… if I had a nickel every time I thought to myself 'this is not smart'. I carefully plodded my way through the sand with flashlight and silenced 45 auto. the blood trail was decent, and I found the hog just past the second set of dunes. it had two shots in the chest. I shot at three others; one was hit but got away, and I missed the other two. still, not bad for a starvin pilgrim.

The farmers are in the process of taking up the soybeans and cotton around here, which is opening up the fields for hog hunting. The rains we've had over the past few months have saturated the ground to the point that some of the crops will rot before the ground is dry enough to support the weight of farming equipment. I would not have seen 3 of the 4 hogs I've killed over the past week had the soybeans not been harvested last week.

I'm thinking I'll put the bait corn out in the middle of the fields instead of along the tree line. When I put the bait pile next to the trees, the hogs are into the woods in a few seconds after the first shot. I should be able to get a few shots off while the hogs are running.

Sounds like a plan. I may invest in thermal once I have a decent place to hunt hogs. Hopefully soon. Got stop buying new cars and making them fast. Finished my new f150 or should I say put a stop on adding power when I ordered my new awd focus. Need money to make that even faster. Can't believe what you can do with these little ecoboost motors.

if ud just get a yota u wudnt have to add any pwr.

 

[snox801]

Lol power in trucks is like $20 hookers. You are never really satisfied lol. Although I'm close I've got 526hp at the rear wheels and 578trq at the wheels. Not bad for a little 6 banger. Hell yoda needs 8 cylinders to make have the power. Hahaha . Crazy part is its Eco or boost. If I set the cruse at 75 I get 23.6 mpg. If I'm out racing sports cars it get like 4 mpg. Guess you can have everything.

not sure it get it? even the worst sex i had was great!! by chance are your hookers male?

got into the pigs again but didn't kill as many as i was expecting... even after emptying the mag!!

went on to next spot and found another herd. emptied the mag again, watching bullets spray all over the place. on the last shot my scope fell off the gun!! the quick release levers had been slowly working themselves loose until they came open. sometimes i'm a total *******.

ps - thanks dnuts for the dvr info

Nice work DJ! I've got a suppressor for my HK 45, but I hadn't thought of taking it out for hogs. I'll have to remember to take it out next time I go.

Hey guys cabelas has Nikon m 223 with bdc scopes on sale $129. I bought three for my three new ars I got yesterday

 

[Packrat 6]

Glad to see that there is life after Packrat. See you guys have been keeping DJ busy and he's back to posting pictures after that long bleak period several month ago.

Anyone been telling him to change his underwear. Guy totally failed personal hygiene even though he took the same class 5 times. I think that he might be of the school that you need to smell like your prey. Heard unofficially that he had been adopted into several different sounders as a Blood Brother. Correction, ex-sounders. He's treacherous too!

Just so darn busy and finally getting caught up. Headed out to El Paso again on the 4th as things stand now, and then return to Tucson Area and prepare for Hog hunt on the 17th of Dec. SW of San Antonio. Will have some pictures finally. First time hunting in over 2 years because wife got sick.

Brother went down and cleaned out some the hogs earlier, and they got one boar along with several sows, and 4 Whitetail, but said the Big Boar was still running loose.

I asked my brother why he didn't the Nightforce (?) 760 (or whatever we ordered) NVD out and he said it was too much trouble to go out at night, so when I get down there am going to liberate it if he isn't going to use it. Right now have the Digital that he sent me quite a while back, but range is limited. Been looking at a thermal, but not in the cards right now. Cost of the **** things is almost a whole weeks pay, even as a consultant!

Will start checking back in more often now that the contracts have been signed.

Packrat!

Pack,

I think you are well within your rights to liberate an unused NVD! Doesn't seem right to let it sit around unused. That goes against the natural order of things.
